plicit conlldence and respect of the com
munity , after a fair and full hearing of
all testimony , exonerated Mayor Itemis
from each and every charge embodied in
the articles of Impeachment is the most
gratifying testimonial Mayor Bemls has
received since bis ndvout into public
ofilco. The verdict of the court carries
with It also u swinging rebuke to the
conspirators who sought to depose the
mayor because he stood In the way of
public plunderers , greedy contractors
and corrupt combines that seek to lllch
money from thu treasury and increase
tlie burdens of the taxpayers.
While Mayor Hemls has been sub
jected to Indignity and calumny he has
passed the trying ordeal creditably to
himself and undeceived the gentlemen
engaged in the anti-vice crusade as to
his alleged complicity with the lawless
classes , ami especially the keepers of

There lias Just been organized In Bos

which Is to agitate for the further re
striction of immigration. Just what

The papers were not forwarded
promptly and a supplementary order
was sent by wire as follows :

Walt Seoley , Secretary Republican State
Central Committee.
The papers reached republican head
quarters only three days before election
and wen ; practically of no use. Ac
companying the package was a bill for

state central committee as outrageously
excessive. Had the publisher bepn con
tent with . " cents a copy , which Is very
liberal , instead of asking 10 cents
apiece for his papers , lie would have
been paid promptly. The dispute over
the bill lasted for months and finally
the publisher brought suit against The
Bee 1'tibllslting company for $150. In

against the plaintiff on the ground that
the papers were furnished td the state

The Hen-.torlal slate that was fixed
up for ( ieorgla democrats at the time
that Speaker Tri.sp declined the ap
pointment to UH tlie imexplrod term of
the late Senator t'ohniitt seems to have
been smashed to smithereens. At that
lime It was generally understood that
the place was given to Hon. Patrick
Walsh with the expectation that he
would voluntarily declare himself to be
satisfied with the two sessions to which
his term would entitle him. and would
at Its expiration gracefully retire with
the honor and leave the emoluments of
the full six-year term to Speaker Crl > p ,
who had made his appointment pos
sible. In the meantime , however.
Speaker Crisp bus been renoniinated
for thu lower house of eongroM , mid
( here Is no. doubt of Ids re-election.
Nor is there any doubt of his continu
ance In the speakership , provided , of
course , the democrats retain control of
that body. On this latter point , not"
withstanding the confident expressions
of the speaker , there IH considerable
doubt even In the minds of tlie most
hopeful democratic leaders.
.Speaker Crisp has , therefore , not en
tered avowedly into the .senatorial race ,
for tlie reason that he does not be
lieve a man ( should make a canvass for
two different offices nt the same time.
Ho is also Quoted us having said to a
friend just before the adjournment of
the last session of the house that ho
would rather light with the minority
than be lost among the members of the
upper branch. This being the situation ,
there has been no hesitancy cm tlie part
of other ambitious aspirants lo throw
themselves Into the Held. They are ,
first. Major A. O. Bacon , who was de
feated when he ran for governor of
Oeor la against General Oonlon. ITe Is
conceded to be the nlrongest avowed
candidate and has powerful influences
back of him. Then , there U Colonel
Girard. who , as member of the last
democratic national convention , secured
the Insertion Into the platform of the
plank calling for the repeal of the tax
on state bank Issues. Judge Turner ,
congressman 'mm tlie Second district
anil member of tfic Trays and means
committee , would not refuse a promo
tion. Lastly. Senator Walsh himself
has concluded from his on > HOSKlo
experience that senatorial life I.s not MI
bad as it is often painted ami is not
averse to having his experience pro
longed. With four candidates In the
contest autl plenty of others watching
for a favorable opening , there will be
no lack of senatorial timber In Georgia.
One point must nor be overlooked.
The election of Tutted Stales senator
by the tieorgla legislature does not oc
cur for several months after the con
grebHional elections , Speaker Crisp will
have early notice of tlie political com
plexlon of the next house of ivpreson

Tlie public will nwnlt with expectant
curiosity the outcome of the proposed
experiment with professional foot ball
In this country. It remains to be seen
whether the college foot bull player can

yells that spur htm on tn risk life and

Another batch of claimants to the
( Uiclph fund lias sprung up , this time
in Italy. The fact that the fund
amounts lo some $1. , ( )00.KK ) ( ) has much
to do with the frequency with which
titled bankrupts discover that they are
descendants' ' of thai family. If there
were some obligations to be defrayed
the claimants would scarcely be so fur-

advertise that a fortune was awaiting

hasten to present the required proofs
that would entitle them to share in Its

Arapahoe Mirror : A few of the machine

Mr. Hcsewater's refusal to support the re
publican state ticket , This Is a clear case
of whistling to keep their courage up. The
fact remains that Hoscwiiler and Tlie Omaha

politics , especially republican politics , than
any other factor In the state ,
Republican papers that were claiming a
month ago that the man of the hickory
shirt would be elected by an overwhelming
majority have now made the admission In
their columns that If he Is elected at all
It will be by the skin of Ills teeth. Long

skin left on his teeth to bo elected by.
Another republican candidate for the legis

Plattsmouth Journal : S. S , Alley ami
Ills coterie of bolters are a nice set to call
themselves the democratic party of Nebraska !
With only eight counties represented In their
"rump" convention they will cut a nice
figure in state politics. They know anil so
does everybody else that tlielr chief obji'qt
la to help out Tom Majors and the railway
crowd. They are mad because they
couldn't get the paity to do their bidding.
Silver Creek Times : BUI Dorgan , of cell
house f me , was In Central City last week
doInK a good deal of talking for Majors. Of
course I3II1 would be for Tom : everybody
knew that. Bill Is reported as Baying that
If he knew Majors would bs elected he would
buy the Academy of Music , but that If Majors
was defeated he wouldn't give $3 for It.
William was probably dreaming that In case
of Majors' election he would get the- Job of
building another cell house.
Down In Neinaha county they try lo con

smooth , ovtr that little contingent congress
man business they explain that Tom , In
his great love for Nebraska , simply tried to
stretch the facts to cover the hindrances In
his way to promote the welfare of the itate.
That's a pretty good plea for a pettlfogsf.r ,
but the polities' court of last resort , the
people , wilt not recognize It.
'Exeter ' Enterprise : The Nebraska repub
licans begin their campaign with au Insult
to the Intelligence of the state. They raise
that old scarecrow that the "business Inter
est" demand the election of Tom Majors
and his partners , who constitute a portion of
the same state ring which has Increased
taxes In Nebraska to the legal limit , bonded
the state to pay running expenses , deposited
Its money In rotten banks and toil It , per
petuated the asylum steals , and In every pos
sible way betrayed every trust. The "busi
ness Interests" of every citizen of the state
eutrMj of a small ring of contractors and
bsneflclarlss of corruption demand the elec
tion cf Jmlge llolcomb and the rest of the
magnificent ticket of which he Is at the
head.
Valley Enterprise : The charges against
Tom Majors concerning tlie state house steal
have not as yet been denied by the repub
lican speakers of the ttate. When Thurston
spoke at Valley he did not even mention
these charges. There are accusations against
Majors of baojlerlsm , of corruption , of pros
titution , of brutality , that can be substanti
ated out r.f the mauttm of witnesses of the
republican party Itself. This campaign Isan
appeal to the patriotic sense and Intelligence
or the people cf Nebraska and of the United
States. It Is to the patriotic Judgment and
business scnso of the American people , ad-
drc ced to their Interests , tlielr business ,
their pockets , their prosperity and the wel
fare of themselves and families. Vote down
tuch men who have brought shame upon
the fair name cf Nebraska.
Straws show the way the wind bluws ,
Here are a few of them caught as ihey
wore blown out on the air by republir.ui
papers. The Lincoln Call says. "It Is
Idle to contend that the republican candidates
will have a walkaway In this campaign "
The O'Neill Frontier asserts : "It Is no use
trying to conceal the fact that Tom Majurs
Is now In tlie hottest and moat doubful
campaign of his life. " The Waco "World
af-iilts that "a few republicans In Yorl :
county" arc deserting the tattooed can 11-
datc , The Central City Nonpareil , oiid of
the best republican papers In the state ot Ne
braska , prints this warning : "Mr. Majors
should not neglect this neck of the woods
much longer. There are a large numbjr
slipping away. Ho needs Merrlck comity
in his business. To carry the county 'y.ll
require more than sending out circulars by
the central committee. He will have : o be
defended from the stump as well as by the
press from the charges brought against I im
by those seeking to defeat him. " Theae
